AD/CV Case Update: Shrimp, Plastic Bags

Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report

Shrimp. The International Trade Administration has rescinded its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frozen shrimp from China for the period Feb. 1, 2016, through Jan. 31, 2017, due to the timely withdrawal of the request for review. The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess AD duties on all appropriate entries of subject goods at the cash deposit rates in effect at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.

Separately, in its sunset review of the AD duty orders on frozen warmwater shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, the ITC has determined that revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the U.S. within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result, these orders will be continued for five years.

However, the ITC also determined that revocation of the AD duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the U.S. within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result, this order will be revoked.

Plastic Bags. In the final results of its administrative review of the AD duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from Malaysia for the period Aug. 1, 2015, through July 31, 2016, the ITA has determined that Euro SME Sdn Bhd had no reviewable entries of subject goods during the period of review.
